Greenskin Chariots Attack!

[Malorian]

I've always wanted to try a chariot themed list and I finally got my chance.

After trading for a bunch of wolves and TK chariots I converted up more wolf chariots, then converted up a warboss chariot, and with my existing models I put together this 2K list:


Warboss w/ charm shield, chariot
Lvl 4 orc shaman w/ scroll, chariot
Orc bsb w/ great weapon, gamblers armor, chariot

50 night goblins w/ banner, nets
50 night goblins w/ banner, nets
50 night goblins w/ banner, nets

3 wolf chariots
3 wolf chariots
3 wolf chariots
Boar chariot
Boar chariot
Boar chariot

To be honest the gamblers armor is there because I had 20 extra points and it seemed to match the theme


My opponent brough a bret list that was something like:

Killy bret lord
Bsb w/ no rank bonus banner
Killy paladin on pegasus
Lvl 2 damsel w/ mirror

12 KotR w/ FC
12 KotR w/ FC

3 Peg kights

9 grail knights
Trebucket


Hope you enjoy it

Dude each chariot need its own crazy banner-

25k list I think will be pretty solid with this list as a starter.

[Morkash]

I love chariots but yours went insanely killy right there, good sir!

Never used a full fledged chariot list yet, because I like to have some Big'unz or Black Orcs because I feel lonely without them. And a lot of Rare Units of course, I cannot leave house without some warmachines, Manglers and/or Pump Wagons. Or the Arachnarok, of course.

I'd also think about including some cavalry to such a list, as I feel that 9 WCs aren't needed but some dead 'ard Big'unz on Boars always rock! Or a Gigantic Spider. Or both. I also like Spider Riders. Hmm, might be time to try a full cavalry list...

[Malorian]

When I designed the list I planned to be running groups. Each group would have a night goblin block, a boar chariot for immediate support, and then wolf chariots for a flank support. Getting battle for the pass killed that.

I also really wanted to have the armor of gork on the warboss, but points didn't allow it.

So it seems another game at 2500 may be in order...

[Sarael]

Offhand, aside from gearing out your characters, what else would you add to the list? Do you think a fanatic in each NGobbo unit to stop charges would be in order?

[Malorian]

I don't think I need a fanatic, but I definately need throw away units. So be it trolls or wolves, they would be added too.

[TsukeFox]

No giant or araRock to offer juicy targets for cannons instead of the squishy chariot riders-?

[Malorian]

A possibility, and one that would help add kills after the first push, but I doubt someone would shoot a monster over a general of lvl 4 in a chariot

[Toshiro]

Great report Mal, very nice list.

[SevenSins]

glad you finally got to test this, chariots are the bees knees! (whatever that means )

This is one of the things to love about O&G the sheer number of sany builds.

No pump wagons though? Might as well get another flavour in there, right?

True true- but if the monsters get into close combat unmolested then sacrificing that lvl4 will be worth it as 2x thunder stomps + impact hits (2x,3x,4x) can smash the opponents army.

[Malorian]

I'll take 2 foot of gork stomps over 2 thunder stomps any day

[DaemonReign]

Enjoyed watching this report.
Very good how you manage to squeeze all the relevant info into just under 8 minutes. I actually have time to Watch stuff like that. Where-as I see a lot of reports that I would like to Watch but they're almost an hour long and that's just rarely the kind of time I have.

I get that you were going All-Chariots here but my only reflection is that some Fanatics would have been damn nasty on those Knights.
Although you handled them just fine anyway so, yeah, just a reflection.

[Chiemo22]

I love the idea of the chariot army, had some ideas myself too. more in the direction of a full goblin army. heroes in chariots racing around te battlefield. hordes of wolfriders and of course the 3x3 goblin chariot units.

great battlereport, but i wonder if it could win against any other army...
